Although to be fair I didn't post anywhere much over the weekend at all. Bat Cat got out for the umpteenth time, he has a habit of running out a door when we're not looking. He did his usual trick of staying out for a couple of days and finally came back in yesterday evening, alleviating the incipient panic attack.

Once back in college, I wanted to screen V For Vendetta on the projector in the big auditorium, but was told it as a copyright violation unless it was academic. So we got the professor who was teaching a course on revenge literature to open the film with a lecture. 😎

look okay I know it is a time honored tradition to counter sex and gender bigotry with examples from nature but when Christian right religious types say things are "unnatural" they mean "counter to human nature as God created us", not "doesn't exist in animals", so all you're doing is reinforcing their idea that gays and trans are less than human by comparing them to animals

My new favorite note from the Editrix: this is your note to check that you did so we have SOME basis of "oh her." Even if it doesn't come until the Dramatic Galadriel Sequence, now with rotating Galadriel understudies. XD

Welp. I did not quite double up BOTH my #Nanowrimo novels on Double Up Day, but I did double one on Saturday, half again the other on Sunday, made par for the one I didn't on both days, so I think I am doing very well on that count. #amwriting

Did not get all of my Galaxy Hillbillies Nanoing for today done before I left work, but I did get half of it done. Now if I can get some edits done in their place, I'll only have 800 or so words to write when I get home. Progress! #amwriting

Update: So then I poured a large number of nerds down my throat and told Uncle Elf Lord, who is from Georgia, about the whole Southern Gothic Generation Ship project. He is giving me Ideas. This is not helping me calm down.

There, that's minimum made on one #Nanowrimo novel, the group marriage saves the day in space science fiction one. Now I do a bit of day job and then work on the second. Or lunch. Lunch might help. #amwriting

Also I have discovered that Huevember is a thing, which may result in me trying to do way too many creative things at once on top of a day job. I'm not entirely sure I care. I need to practice making drawn art too!

Also I've wanted to experiment with watercolors for a while, which seems like a thing people do for Huevember? Art with watercolors? I want to do so much art. But it has to be art I can take with me to work, which means my giant box of colored pencils is a no-go.

My brain is now sluggishly trying to muster up the "DO FIVE THINGS AT ONCE BECAUSE THEY'RE ALL FUN" energy and it's not happening, brain. Not even you have the energy to try to take me in five directions at once. Stop trying to make mania happen, it's not going to happen.
